A PINCH OF MAGIC by Michelle Harrison 5 Stars Verdict: An original witchy tale. Betty Widershins and her two sisters are cursed never to leave the gloomy island that has always been their home. For an adventurous girl like Betty, that will never do! When each sister receives a magical heirloom, they set out to break the curse, starting with the possibly haunted Crowstone prison.
